About the adventure
In this sleepy hamlet, the villagers live blissfully unaware of the Heartseed that stirs beneath their feet. Born from blood-soaked soil and ancient witchcraft, its roots twist into tunnels your party compulsively explore when the sun sets. Guide its growth but keep its existence a secret. Why nurture such darkness? What is the nature of the Heartseed? What drives your characters compulsion? These are questions that will drive the narrative of this cozy life-sim blended with dungeon-crafting, creeping tension and mythic discovery! Inspired by and paying homage to media such as... 🌾Stardew Valley 🗡️Darkest Dungeon 💀Elden Ring 🍖Delicious in Dungeon 🌞 By day: Build relationships, strengthen the village, and shape daily life. 🌙 By night: Descend into the depths to shape the living dungeon below. Uncover its mysteries and cultivate the Heartseed! Whether you want to contribute to the whole of the setting or simply focus on your personal narrative I am incredibly adept at weaving your interests into our sessions together. Do you want your choices to have impact on the world around you? Do you want a defined character arc supported by a visually stunning layout, previously described by my players as an interactive movie? Do you want to express yourself with an ever-growing catalogue of emotive poses for your customized avatar? Then this is the game for you.

About me
What I provide isn’t just a game, it’s an experience. Week after week, I pour immense passion, care, and creativity into every session I run. Using Foundry VTT, I've created custom toolkits that strike a balance between immersion, interactivity and cinema. I've yet to find a table experience that matches mine in terms of consistent quality. As handy as these tools are it wouldn't mean much without a seasoned GM who has a true understanding of storytelling and the ability to adapt on the fly. It's me. I'm that GM. 😅 With so many incredible systems to explore, we are truly in the TTRPG renaissance. With that in mind, I aim to bring my decades of experience, creativity, and dedication to the table—while always trying new things along the way. I specialize in long-term storytelling where decisions matter. Over the years, I’ve honed my craft to blend narrative, emotion, and spectacle into every session, collaboratively telling stories shaped by my players’ interests. My games combine a sharp eye for the dramatic with cinematic flair and a few of my own secret herbs and spices to create living, breathing worlds for your characters to explore. I bring extensive technical expertise with Foundry VTT, using it to add a level of polish and immersion rarely found elsewhere. Many have described the experience as feeling like an interactive movie. When choosing your next game, know that I’m highly adaptable and always focused on delivering a tailored experience built around my players. Every session offers opportunities for expression, connection, and the feeling that your story truly matters. I invite you to my table and look forward to creating something special together.

Creating your character
Your character concept will be finalized during Session 0 along with the other party members. Daggerheart is a system which makes sure everyone at the tables skills are unique to them, meaning abilities wont overlap unless the narrative demands it. Sharing Ancestries, Community and Domain Cards will be allowed if it fits a shared narrative. We start at level 1. Anything in the SRD is fair game for character creation. The SRD is 100% free and available on the Daggerheart website. I will also share my Foundry VTT compendiums. Playtest material will be included if it seems reasonably well executed. Disclaimer: If it becomes game breaking, I may ask you to make a change.
